New Year Displays around the world.
Auckland in New Zealand is the first major city in the world to welcome in the New Year, however the largest New Year Display in the world is fast on their heals as Sydney, Australia host their display using the iconic setting of Sydney Harbour Bridge as a centre piece. Fireworks span the bridge to produce a huge cascading waterfall effect. In total 7 tonnes of fireworks are used and are located on the harbour bridges, Sydney Harbour Bridge and seven city buildings. 100,000 pyrotechnic effects are used and draw a crowd of around 1.5 million people as well as the billion people who watch the display on TV or on-line.
As midnight travels around the world fireworks are used to celebrate the start of the New Year. The 509 metre high Taipei 101 Tower is used to spectacular effect for an intense display lasting around 3 minutes.
Mainland Europe and Scandinavia have a long tradition of using fireworks to celebrate the coming of the New Year. As well as displays in the major cities, the inhabitants of these countries will also have their own firework celebrations. Each city uses its most famous landmark as a backdrop for its displays, the Brandenburg Gate features in the Berlin display and the Eiffel Tower the Paris display. Around one million people will attend each of these displays.
The United Kingdom has been somewhat late in embracing the use of fireworks to celebrate New Year, however the Millennium celebrations on 31st December 1999 changed all that. The London Eye makes the perfect centre-piece for a spectacular display. In addition to the professional displays the general public hold their own firework displays to bring in the New Year. One light single ignition display boxes that available for the general public to but make hosting a spectacular display simple.
As the New Year progresses ever west wards where else but the length of the Copacabana beach plays host to the Rio de Janeiro display and heading out further west, Las Vegas seven casinos along the Strip, from the Stratosphere to the MGM Grand, will allow loads of explosives to be shot from their rooftops.
